Cellular Friction

Meaning

Cellular Friction is a conceptual term in longevity medicine that describes the cumulative biochemical and physical impediments that hinder optimal cellular communication and function. This friction encompasses a variety of pathological processes, including chronic low-grade inflammation, oxidative damage from free radicals, and the accumulation of senescent, non-functional cells. It represents the systemic biological resistance to efficient physiological operation, which ultimately accelerates the rate of biological aging and contributes significantly to the development of chronic endocrine dysfunction.
